What the developer says
WICKLING was built with AI assistance. Generative AI was used during development to help write the game's code, its pixel art, its level layouts and some of its writing, and to help produce this store page and its artwork. The soundtrack is not AI-generated. Every note is a hand-written 2A03 chiptune, synthesised by the game as it runs rather than played back from audio files, which is why the horror systems can bend the music live. Nothing in WICKLING is generated while you play. Every level, sprite, line of text and piece of music is fixed and identical for every player, and the game makes no network requests of any kind.

| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-heavy · AI scope: major · effort risk: mediumReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped produce in-game pixel art, level layouts, code and writing, covering several major asset types. The soundtrack is hand-written and content is fixed, showing some real craft. Only 3 games in 12 months, so volume signals don't reach high effort risk. Against: Hand-written 2A03 chiptune soundtrack and fixed, non-generated content suggest genuine development effort; only three releases in a year is not mass-production volume. |
